I'd rather that K1 focus on the weight classes where they have talent, it's a pet peeve of mine with Glory in that they stretch themselves too thin with the amount of weight classes they have.
I still think they eff'd up by stretching to 8 divisions instead of keeping it at 3. Back when they were doing 3 events, they could afford to do an annual tournament for each division along with fillers like Japan tournaments and Survival Wars to build divisions.
Now we have 8 divisions vs. 5-6 events per year. That means
1. Almost half of the divisions won't be getting an annual tournament
2. At 6 superfights (excl. tournaments) per event, there's only 30-40 superfights per year across those 8 divisions. That's hardly enough to build the divisions, especially since most of those are going to be title bouts
K-1 needs to push itself to do 10 events per year or dramatically up the level of Krush to handle divisional sorting for its K-1 roster.
